A 1,000 watt solar panel kit will generate anywhere from 1,200 to 1,600 kilowatt-hours per year depending on where you live and what direction your panels face. That isn't typically enough to heat a pool for an entire year. However, according to the Department of Energy, 1,200 kWh/year would be enough to power your major appliances (refrigerator, clothes washer & dryer, dishwasher, microwave, etc.).
